<h4>Brief Description</h4>
<p>This use case occurs when an advertiser wants to post advertising content
(banner ads) on the web site and specify which subscriber profiles should be
used for display.</p>
<h3><a name="Flow of Events"></a>Flow of Events <a href="#Top"><img src="../../../../core.base_rup/resources/top.gif" alt="Top of page" border="0" width="26" height="20"></a></h3>
<h4>Basic Flow</h4>
<ol>
  <li>Advertiser selects &quot;Post Content&quot;</li>
  <li>System validates account billing information to ensure new <a href="ex_gloss2.htm#Content">content</a>
    will be accepted.&nbsp; This consists of verifying that the advertiser
    account is in good standing (no outstanding balance over 30 days).</li>
  <li>System prompts for name of content.</li>
  <li>Advertiser uploads content in GIF format.</li>
  <li>System stores GIF in a staging area and records location and name of file.</li>
  <li>System acknowledges successful saving of content.</li>
  <li>System displays potential categories for ad display. Categories are
    maintained as a reference list within the system.</li>
  <li>Advertiser selects categories for which this ad should be shown.</li>
  <li>System displays potential frequencies and prices for the ad.&nbsp;
    Frequencies are maintained as a reference list, prices are based on
    advertiser's contract with WebNewsOnLine.&nbsp; Pricing codes are maintained
    as part of the <a href="ex_gloss2.htm#Advertiser Profile">advertiser profile</a>.</li>
  <li>Advertiser selects desired frequency for this ad</li>
  <li>System creates preliminary billing record for this ad based on number of
    categories selected, frequency, and advertiser's profile.</li>
  <li>System places content in editor's &quot;to-do&quot; workflow queue for
    approval.&nbsp;&nbsp; If more than one editor is defined, a round-robin
    approach is used to attempt to balance load.&nbsp;&nbsp; Editors may be
    marked as unavailable (if, for instance, they are on vacation or sick or out
    of the office), in which case they will not be included in the round-robin
    process.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Alternative Flow</h4>
<ol>
  <li>Invalid Account Information</li>
  <ol>
    <li>Advertiser selects &quot;Post Content&quot;</li>
    <li>System validates account billing information to ensure new content will
      be accepted</li>
    <li>Account information is invalid, advertiser is prompted to contact the billing department.
      WebNewsOnLine.&nbsp;&nbsp; System presents central phone number for
      advertising department (stored in system).</li>
  </ol>
